We often post about inventive cakes and cupcakes, especially those made with other delicious foods inside, such as Oreos and Cadbury Creme Eggs. Now it’s no longer necessary to scrounge around for such confections. Thanks to the specializing tendency of the Internet, there’s a blog devoted entirely to baking foods inside cakes and cupcakes. Pictured above is on example from Bake It in a Cake — a banana cupcake with a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup inside and topped with chocolate buttercream and chocolate chips.
Melissa Smith of Zoey Cakes has made what may be the ultimate Cadbury Creme Egg creation. It’s baked with an egg inside, covered with vanilla buttercream frosting, and then topped with a mini egg.

The great thing about cupcakes is, well, everything. But it turns out that they can be improved upon. If you’re looking for a faster way of shoving cupcakes into your mouth, you might want to try the PushCake by the Meringue Bake Shop in Orange County, California. Do you need more cupcake? Just push the bottom up.

Debbie Wright invented this culinary delight. The batter and frosting are both made of oreos, and there’s an oreo resting at the bottom of the cake. Finally, it’s topped with a mini oreo.

This Koch snowflake cupcake is the tastiest mathematical iteration ever. These lovely fondant fractals are made from edible dough rolled, cut to exacting detail and assembled on top of the cupcake of your choice. Warning: some manual dexterity required.
The interesting thing about fractals like these is that they are emergent phenomena– complex patterns that show up when a simple algorithm is iterated. We often think of mathematical iteration as something that only happens in computers, but as these examples show, there are a number of interesting certain cases where you can perform iteration with your hands as well.

Stacy Conradt makes cupcakes, and is planning to experiment with new styles and flavors.
Key Lime: vanilla cake with key lime frosting rolled in graham cracker crumbs.Captain Crunch: crush the cereal into the flour and the frosting.
Whopper: vanilla cake with malt powder; chocolate frosting with crushed Whopper candy.
Mochaccino: Vanilla cake with chocolate frosting that has coffee granules in it. Or maybe just coffee flavoring, topped with a coffee bean.
Chicken and Waffles: waffle-flavored cupcake with maple-flavored frosting with a little piece of friend chicken on top. Must. Try. This.
She has a much longer list of proposed cupcakes. Which ones do you think will be a hit? Link
Butch Bakery offers manly cupcakes for manly men who love cupcakes. Each cupcake is covered in a chocolate disk decorated in manly styles, like wood grain or camouflage. The flavors are manly as well, like the Driller: maple cake with chocolate ganache and bacon bits. Or the Old Fashioned, which is orange-soaked whisky cake with a lemon curd filling. Or the B52, which is a Kahlua-soaked vanilla cake with Bailey’s bavarian filling. Twelve manly flavors are offered. Link -via Gorilla Mask
If you love Futurama, then you’ll certainly appreciate these adorably gross brain slug cupcakes. Just hope they don’t take over your mind after you eat them.

My sister hosts a big game party every year, mostly non-video games (word games, board games etc.) This year she made 100 cupcakes, each with a decoration referring to a game, video and otherwise. Have a go at guessing them all! (keep your own score manually)

This periodic table of cupcakes is for a chemistry nerd’s birthday party. Each cake is labeled with an element and color-coded by its state of matter. I hear hydrogen and helium are very light and fluffy. Looks like someone already ate ununseptium. Link -via reddit
Love iced cream cones but hate the iced cream? Then you’ll love these Cupcake cones on Instructables with plenty of instructions (naturally) to make your own sweettreats at home.
Delicious, clever, and surprising, these cupcakes impersonating ice cream cones are sure to delight!
Now that’s a quote that I can’t begin to dispute.
This honey cake is baked inside a Honey Baked Ham shell and topped with a lovely little slice of pineapple. It is a one up to the meat to cake ratio of the bacon cupcake.
Cake Wrecks causes me to cringe all of the time, usually at gross spelling errors and colors that should never be used on a cake. But when one actually makes me laugh out loud, I know I have to share it with you guys.
It’s bad, right? And the one paw appears to have six digits on it. In case you don’t know what the UK logo looks like, click the link. You’ll be stunned at the similarity.
Craftster user Lethargic made these back in October for the season premiere of Dexter, but other clever Craftsters immediately came up with lots of other uses for them (divorce party). The actual cake is red velvet (my favorite, yum) with butter cream icing tinted to look like a skin tone, and the little knives are made out of piped white chocolate. Genius.
And Crafter member Choleblack made these simple yet brilliant cupcakes for Halloween. You could also use them for a Twilight party (not my thing, but have at it if it’s yours) or a True Blood premiere party. Or just for fun if you’re kind of creepy like me.
Sweet lovers like myself will love this brilliant concept on The Cupcake Project blog. It’s an Oreo cupcake with Oreo frosting, topped with home-made Oreos and served with a glass of milk built inside. This ingenious dessert marvel is made possible with the help of those delightful chocolate liqour cups. I totally want to make these myself, if you do as well, let me know how they turn out.
I wrote a post on pregnancy cravings on mental_floss today – I’m not preggo, but one of my good friends is – and a commenter said that one of his friends runs a cupcake blog and recently announced her pregnancy via the blog. How? With a recipe and taste test of pickle and ice cream cupcakes, of course! I don’t know if they are any good (she says they’re not bad), but they’re adorable, and I think the concept of the announcement is pretty cute.

How do you make the Klaus Teuber’s maddeningly fun boardgame Settlers of Catan even more enjoyable? Play it with cupcakes!
"What is Cupcakes of Catan?" you ask.
Well, my friend, Cupcakes of Catan is a a totally edible, fully functioning, utterly playable, all vegan, mostly organic, completely cupcake version of the original boardgame, Settlers of Catan. If you’ve never seen or played Settlers of Catan, this whole operation may seem mystifying. In fact, even if you have played Settlers you may be confused by this all-cupcake version of the game. Why would anyone create such a thing? Let me tell you:
One: Cupcakes are fun.
Two: Settlers of Catan is fun.
Three: CupcakesxSettlers of Catan=more fun.
Flickr user QuintanaRoo (Emilie of The Conscious Kitchen) and friends set this up an entry for the Catan Food Contest. Though they didn’t win (Whaaat? How can that be?) this concept is too yummy not to post here on Neatorama: Link – via Wonderland
We know America is obsessed with bacon, so it’s a good thing everyone is going out of the way to create all kinds of great new meat products. Here’s a new one, the bacon cupcake. Something about these is disturbing yet strangely appetizing.
